Thread: Official flag texture template?

  1. #1

    Question Official flag texture template?

    Could BIS or someone skilled with such things provide us with the texture/foreground that is used to give the flags in the game that fabric, "flaggy" appearance? The white flag would probably be a good place to start reverse engineering but I'm not that good at photoshop.

    I asked for that a while back, twice already and it was ignored.

    However we at CWR have a decent flag template now we may share. Just need to check with the guy who made it first.

    Don't know if this is good enough for you, you might have to experiment with layer transparency: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9367994/flag_template.7z

    OpenSource, use it and spread it if you find it useful.

    Thanks, I was looking for something like this for ages, just in time too I'm gonna use it to make flags for the intro of my island.

    You said you've got photoshop right?

    Just resize your flag image to 512*256 (ctrl+alt+i), copy and paste this white flag texture on top of it then in the layers window, change the layer blend from normal to multiply (using the drop-down menu to the left of the opacity slider).

    You can then adjust the opacity of the white flag overlay and 'image\adjustments\brightness & contrast' or 'levels' (ctrl+L) to adjust the colours back to normal.

    Par example:



    Personally though; I use this tutorial: http://www.hesido.com/base.php?page=...sub=wavingflag and crop the wavy edges from around the flag texture (better results if you start with a flag image larger than 512*256, then scale it down for ArmA 2).
